The following is an example of how to use the "Final State" to determine if a day is a report creation day based on the day of the week. To use the "Final State," you need to place the State Machine and State activities.

First, drag and drop System > State Machine > State Machine into the designer panel.

Refer to this guide for details on how to place the State Machine.

Next, drag and drop "State" from "System" > "State Machine" into the designer panel.

After double-clicking on the "State," drag and drop "Assign" from "System" > "Primitives" into the "Entry" section and place it there.

In the properties, under "Others" > "To", input a String type variable (in this example, "day") and also input a value (in this example, DateTime.Now.ToString("ddd")).
※ Please refer to "Creating Variables" for details on how to create variables.

Return to the "State Machine", then drag and drop "Final State" from System > State Machine, and place it in the workflow.

Double-click on the part labeled "T1" on the transition line connecting the "State" and the "Final State".

In the "Properties" panel, go to "Others" > "Condition" and enter the expression (in this example, enter day = "Monday").

Return to the "State Machine" and double-click the placed "Final State".

To check the execution results, place "System" > "Original" > "Write Line," and set the necessary variables, etc.
In this example, enter "Report creationg date"

Return to the "State Machine," then drag and drop "System" > "State Machine" > "Final State" to place it, and connect it with the "State" using a transition line.

Double-click the section marked "T1" on the transition line connecting the second "State" and the "Final State."

In the properties, enter the expression (in this example, day <> "Monday") in the "Other" > "Condition" section, and change the "DisplayName" from "T1" to "T2."
Note: The text in "DisplayName" can be changed to any string of your choice.

Return to the "State Machine" and double-click the second "Final State."

In order to verify the execution results, place "Write Line" under "System" > "Primitives," and set the necessary variables, entering "Report creation is not required" in this example.

Click on "Home > Start" or press the "F5" key to execute the workflow and open the output panel.

When executed on a Monday, verify that it displays "Report creation date".

When executed on a day other than Monday, verify that it displays "Report creation is not required".
